New/Brand new—a book is new, unread, and unused in perfect condition

Like New — a used book that looks like new but may have been read, no defects

Very Good (VG): A used book in Very Good condition can be described as showing some minor signs of wear, but without any tears on either the binding or paper. May have light foxing or bumping, but should not have markings or highlighting, except remainder marks or names inside the front cover. Any defects will be noted.

Good (G)—a used book in relatively good condition with all pages present but with quite distinct signs of wear and tear, visible defects such as water damage, etc.

Fair (FR)—a worn, used book with certain signs of damage

Acceptable  A very worn used book exhibiting extensive signs of damage resulting from multiple factors, including but not limited to water exposure, insect damage, or heavy wear. Titles in this condition are not normally offered for sale in our store and are listed only in exceptional cases, such as when the book is extremely rare, autographed, or considered a highly sought-after edition.
